"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain

Graduation

Sooooo today was my high school graduation. Yipee! (said sarcastically, of course)
It's strange that the next step in my education is in Switzerland. I'm starting to feel more excited than nervous now, mostly because I've become more laid back about the whole social aspect of living abroad. I was really nervous about meeting new friends and creating a network of support from scratch, but I've come to realize that what will happen will happen and there's no real use in worrying too much about it. So yeah.

In super fun exciting news I finally got a laptop! It's a Dell Inspiron, and it has Windows Vista, which is crazy. The screen is quite large and I imagine will be quite good for watching DVDs (airplane, anyone?). It's weird to have total control of it, to not have to share it with anyone. Oh, and I also got a printer with it (my dad bought both for me, apparently it was some sort of deal). I'm probably going to have to ship the printer over, but I'll figure that out later.

I'd also like to thank those who commented with ideas about buying a cellphone in Lugano. I think that's what I'm going to end up doing. They sound cheap enough for even my budget.
